Thrifting Goodness

Stopped by the local thrift the other dayand there happened to be a sale. I love tosupport this thrift since the proceeds goto a battered women’s shelter that helpswomen and their children.

It was a banner day for finds.

Look at the sweetrose still life. I pickedthe frame out of a bin becauseit was solid wood and now findthat I am enjoying the sweet paintingand shall hang it as is in thebedroom.

Another sampler in a wooden heart frame,two wood boxes, one containing some silver spoonsand a fork. I bird feeder which I think is perfect foraltering into something other. A cigar box, a collagedrope trim shaker stylex paper box. A game containinglittle letter and phrase cards, perfect for collage. Andtwo wonderful old children’s books, the best of the lot.

"Creativity does not come
with a set of instructions.
There is no fragile,
handle with care,
this end up, contents may
shift in transit.
Yet we are fragile,
a bag of bones
inside a permeable membrane
with a mass of gray matter
held inside a
thin, bony shell.
And we definitely do
shift in transit.
So what are we waiting for?"
